When I added this "Deployed code" feature to the error reporting,
I apparently hadn't worked out enough of how this code works to
realize that `notify_server_error` may be in a different process,
at a different time and potentially even on a different machine
from the actual error being reported.
Given that architecture, all the data about the error must be computed
in `AdminNotifyHandler`, before sending the report through the queue,
or else it risks being wrong. The job of `notify_server_error` and
friends is only to format the data and send it off. So, move the
implementation of this feature in order to do that.
(@showell added some "nocoverage" directives here for code that
is hard to test (exceptions being thrown, deployment files not
existing) and that was originally part of a file that didn't
require 100% coverage)
This helps prevent them from diverging and getting different sets of
features and fixes. As a bonus, the email path gets a nice tweak that
the Zulip path has had for years, since f7f2ec0ac, which makes the
emails clearer and less broken-looking when logging a message with no
stack trace.
This deduplicates a little bit of logic, and also has us always put
things into `report` the same way.
Empirically an exception in this codepath is very rare, so we won't
complicate the code by trying to salvage a lot of partial information
if it happens -- just log the traceback, and try to get a minimal
notification sent of the bare fact this happened.
This name hasn't been right since f7f2ec0ac back in 2013; this handler
sends the log record to a queue, whose consumer will not only maybe
send a Zulip message but definitely send an email. I found this
pretty confusing when I first worked on this logging code and was
looking for how exception emails got sent; so now that I see exactly
what's actually happening here, fix it.
